As a newspaper , and independent ol
its politics , the Omaha Daily Herald is
fast assuming a prominent position
among the great journals of the west.
THE Hastings Gazette-Journal is
taking unto itself additional honors ,
having lately enlarged to an eight col
umn paper , and improved vastly other
wise.
WHEN the red flag is hung out in front
of an auctioneer's store it is a sign that
his stock is to be "knocked down. " The
red flag , when displayed at the head of
a socialistic procession , ought to be a
signal for the authorities to knock down
the outfit without any further ceremony.
THE old soldiers who fought for the
union would like to know what the war
was about. They are at a loss to know
whether it was to put down rebellion
and make treason odious or whether it
was only for fun. The recent ovation
to Jeff. Davis beneath the stars and
stripes , which the arch traitor did all in
his power to tear to pieces , has set the
loyal veterans of the north to thinking
THE boys down in Missouri have got
their war paint on. The whoop , "Who
keeps' em in ? " may be heard all the wa
to Washington and may even creep
throguh the latticed window of the
White House. It is said that a Nebras
ka delegation is returning from the na
tional capital after having obtained al
the information it wanted. Any mem
ber of it can tell the indignant Missou
rians something of value. They are
kept in up here in Nebraska , and the
delegation no doubt inquired about it.
THERE is a storm brewing in this
country. Demagogues of high and low
degree , in and out of congress , better
climb "down and out" of the possible
lines of fire. Mr. Powderly has lost
his power to control the volcanic forces
that he has called into being. The an
archist scorns the moderation and scouts
the wisdom of his counsels. "Organized
hell" has broken loose in Chicago , and
there is a storm brewing that may put
the powers of self-government to the
supreme test of ascertaining whether
the primary function of all governments
among civilized men , which is the pro
tection of life and property , can be se
cured in our country. A cognate and
still more vital question is , can labor
itself be protected against itself ?
PRESIDENT CLEVELAND'S approach
ing wedding is likely to get him into
trouble , and the result may be a boy
cott against him and his bride. The
Washington women wage-workers have
a serious grievance against him for per
mitting his bride-elect to purchase her
wedding out-fit in Paris. They protest
against patronizing foreign dressmakers ,
and claim they can get up a better
trousseau than any Parisian modiste.
They ask the president to inspect sam
ples of their work and give them a
chance. We are in full sympathy with
the Washington dressmakers in this
movement. We believe that it is only
in accord with the eternal fitness of
things that the president of the United
States and his bride-elect should patron
ize home industry. Although he really
knows nothing aboutwedding outfits ,
he could rely upon the judgment of his
lady friends in Washington , whom he
could call to his assistance to inspect
and pass judgment upon the merits of
the samples presented.

The Stockville Faber'smode of comparing
Indianola , when deserted by a few business
men who went to McCook , to tho "desertei
village'which Stockville will be when "they
all go to Curtis , " must be intended as a com
pliment to Stockville. If otherwise , we
would infer that the editor of that "high
kicker' ' had not been down to our capita
for a few years at least.
